Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 prepared brownie mix in a 9×9 inch pan, cooled
- 1.5 cups chocolate chips (1 cup milk chocolate and 0.5 cup dark chocolate)
- 1 cup marshmallow fluff
- 1.33 cups peanut butter or almond butter
Nuts and Caramel:
- 1 cup dry roasted or salted peanuts
- 1.5 cups Kraft Premium Caramel Bits or unwrapped caramels
Additional Ingredients:
- 1 tablespoon milk or heavy cream
Instructions
- Prepare brownie base according to package instructions or preferred recipe, using a 9×9-inch pan. Bake until fully cooked, then allow to cool completely at room temperature to ensure proper layering.
- Create nougat layer by whisking marshmallow fluff with peanut butter until smooth. If mixture is difficult to blend, briefly microwave for 10-15 seconds to soften. Spread evenly across cooled brownie surface, maintaining a consistent thickness.
- Melt caramel bits with milk or cream in microwave, stirring every 30 seconds until fully liquefied. Gently cascade caramel over nougat layer, ensuring complete coverage. Immediately scatter peanuts across warm caramel, pressing lightly to secure them in place.
- Combine chocolate chips and peanut butter, microwaving in short intervals and stirring until perfectly melted and glossy. Pour chocolate mixture over peanut layer, using a spatula to distribute evenly. Allow brownies to set at room temperature for approximately 60 minutes, or refrigerate to accelerate chocolate hardening process.
Notes
- Cool brownies completely to prevent nougat layer from melting or becoming runny, ensuring clean and distinct layers.
- Use short microwave bursts when heating marshmallow fluff, caramel, and chocolate to avoid burning and achieve perfect consistency.
- Lightly press peanuts into caramel layer while still warm to create a strong bond and prevent nuts from falling off when cutting or serving.
- Refrigerate brownies to speed up setting time, but allow them to reach room temperature before serving for optimal flavor and texture.
